Poor Meter Connections are Causing Heat
Maintaining the right cross-section avoids overheating and is also reducing the internal resistance.
The Christmas Gimmick 2020
Table Tennis (Pīngpāng qiú 乒乓球) is one of the top National sports in China. As a proof of concept we have remade a very old arcade game.
How Mean is the Value?
CLOU energy meters and test equipment is measuring the true RMS value by waveform sampling. There are other methods, but they are less accurate.
Waveform Sampling for Electrical Measurements
The interactive graphics below shows the impact on sampling rates on different waveforms. The error calculation is based on true-rms for a wave with 360 samples and for training purpose only.
Selection of Current Transformers
Transformer operated energy meters need instrument transformers to reduce high voltage- and current values to lower quantities for measurement purpose.
Cross-sections for electricity wiring
Each conductor wire has a resistance. Resistance means heat development inside the wire. Technically it’s a loss.
The Critical Change Value
The critical change value indicates the maximum amount of change allowed in the meter’s energy registers during disturbance tests without any current flowing in the meter’s current circuits.
No Load Test for Energy Meters 2020
With publishing of the Edition 2 of IEC62052-11 the minimum run time calculation formula has changed.
The Energy Meter Register Resolution
The main purpose of an electronic energy meter is the accurate metering of the customer consumption. The meter has registers for storing the various consumption values
How does a scanning head work?
Each energy meter used for billing must have a test output. An optical indication is mandatory. Beside this the meter can also have electrical test outputs.
